Dynamic DNS client updater for older Macs?

Does anybody know of a dynamic DNS client updater software for services like dyndns.org, zoneedit.com and such?

I've googled quite a bit to no avail, but search terms are so generic they return a lot of irrelevant stuff.

My router is working with dyndns, but I'm using zoneedit for my new web server. I'd be glad if I could delegate the task of updating the DNS server to the PowerBook itself (running System 7.0.1) and not having my MBP running 24/7.

Thanks!

I suppose the client suggestions listed by those sites do not include one for older Macs? And exactly how "old" are you asking for? Something to run under System 7, or what?

You're supposing right! Actually System 7 would be great, so my PowerBook 100 could host the site and update the IP address at the same time. But I somehow doubt such software exist for 7. Anyway, who knows?

But something running on 8.6+ would be fine. I'm thinking of hosting the images and greater files on my PowerBook 1400 to gain some access speed.

Thanks!
